Owners of swimming pools assume the potential liability once a pool or spa is installed. All new pools and spas must be permitted and inspected for safety by the City's Building and Fire Code Services Department.

Some safety requirements include continuous fencing around the pool that is a minimum of 4 feet tall. The fence must be of a style that prevents children from climbing over. Each fence must have its gate latch set 54 inches from the bottom of the gate, and it should also be a self-closing, self-latching gate that swings away from the pool area. In addition to fencing requirements, alarms may be required on any doors that open into a pool or spa area.
